Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Ferris Bueller probably hit you hardest when you were trapped in a school you weren’t paying to attend -- skipping out on college classes was more of a necessity than anything, making it far less satisfying than having literally nothing to do in the outside world during school hours. Bailing on work for kicks, on the other hand, can be totally terrifying -- I’d love to see how an established, professional Ferris would handle it.
